Season 26 Tier List: Solo Greater Rift Push Build Rankings

Season 25 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons in years. The Soul Shards added as the seasonal theme have proven to be incredibly strong, but also far-reaching in their effectiveness, raising the ceiling on every build in the game. Not only is the higher-end much more diverse, but the viability floor is now significantly more feasible for dozens of builds in both high GRs and speed farming.

With patch 2.6.7, several items that modify Rend were buffed, bringing forth this build as the top Barbarian build and one of the top S-Tier builds overall. In the past couple of seasons and on non-seasonal, this build has dominated the leader boards for Barbarian while also being relatively easy to play, making it an excellent build for players looking to pick up Barbarian for the first time. Even with the buffs to other Barbarian builds this season, Rend will still be the best solo build.

Crusader has not been changed this season, so Heaven's Fury Crusader is the best solo build for Season 26. While this is not the fastest build, it is incredibly durable, an excellent elite hunter/RGK, and is once again looking to be the top Crusader build.

After some massive buffs last season, the Marauder Demon Hunter has performed significantly better than expected, overtaking the GoD set on the ladder in a commanding way. If you are looking for an extremely safe, yet powerful play style where you let your sentries do the work for you, Marauder Demon Hunter is going to be a potent option this season.

In Season 26, the Inna's Ally monk build reigned supreme as one of the strongest builds in the game. Monks have not received any changes going into the new season, and so once again the Inna's Ally Monk will prove to possibly be the single most dominant build in the game in almost all forms of content.

Necromancer can be a harder class to get into for newer players, especially given its predominantly cooldown-based play style that almost requires you to use different builds for speed clearing and pushing. If you feel comfortable exploring and maxxing everything a class like Necromancer has to offer, then the LoD Corpse Explosion build is not new, but performed quite well last season and is sure to once again be dominant in the solo ladder.

Arachyrs is another set that received substantial buffs and a redesign recently, but performed significantly better than expected last season. On the solo leaderboards, Mundunugu's Witch Doctor has finally been overtaken, giving rise to the Spider Witch Doctor, offering a fresh play style to anyone looking to pick up Witch Doctor.

Firebirds finally received a substantial nerf in Season 24, and has lost several GR levels worth of power. However, the build was already so strong that it is still poised to possibly be the top Wizard build once again in Season 26, although there are some close contenders.

The difference between the tiers below is roughly equal to 5 GR levels. Also remember that builds evolve and adapt, and the tier list below will almost certainly end up over or undervaluing some builds as they play out over the season. This list is by now means set in stone, and has plenty of room for change as we learn more about the new builds.
